Yup, but these dishes are probably nonexistent or in a completely different form in Greek cuisine. A great example of that is moussaka. While it comes from Turkish, it's a whole different thing in Greek cuisine than in the Turkish one. In the Greek cuisine, moussaka is literally lasagna, with bechamel sauce, minced beef, eggplant, potatoes and onions, while the Turkish version is literally just sautéed eggplant and tomatoes.

Greeks roll it very thick, people call someone who rolls it like that as “noob” here. It should be rolled tightly so the rice inside comes to your mouth equally with the grape leaf which makes its taste more balanced hence better.

I've tasted that once and it's fucking disgusting still. I don't know how you eat this shit. Me and my sister almost threw up after eating this and we almost got humiliated in front of our relatives.

Probably because they rolled with cabbage.

I see, there's no accounting for taste. I really like it and we cook regularly at home.

Nope, they did it vine leaves.
